Yes, that would guarentee you a room. The only problem is if that room isn't available with the AP code. For example, for early December, there haven't been any more rooms available through Best Rate for Wilderness Lodge. My personal opinon is that if they sold out the rooms at WL with the Best Rate, why would they release more rooms when the code comes out? That's just my theory, I could be totally wrong and Disney could be more generous then I am giving them credit for, but do you see what I mean? Just about all the deluxe rooms are gone with the Best Rate program. So, I am thinking there will be really limited availabilty with a code. I guess what you have to ask yourself is "am I willing to pay rack rate if a code isn't available for my resort?" I wish you luck and I really hope that a code comes out soon for you.
